Am I screwed?
I am a sophomore at a target with a rlly good resume.
I unfortunately, only began networking and learning about it in December, and haven’t made any meaningful networking connections.
Can I continue cold emailing for the rest of the week or is it too close to Christmas?
What is the networking timeline? I know I’m late, but can I still essentially start networking and start building effective relationships from scratch in January and February despite SA 2026 IB internships opening very early in January? Am I too late for networking and am thus screwed?
How important is networking? As said, I go to a target and have a rlly good resume so is that enough to land me several 1st round BB and EB interviews?

Everyone VP and above knows these recruiting timelines are retarded. If you go to a good school you’ll be fine.
Thanks so much for the reply. So can I still be cold emailing and starting to build relationships in January and February? Is it even useful or, in light of what you said, is a good school enough? Thanks
Networking is the most important thing when it comes to IB recruiting. Do it even if you go to Harvard/Stanford/Wharton.
